Yeah, I don't believe this is an issue.

The upstream qtwebengine repo has a patch that hasn't been back ported it
to a version > 5.12.8 in the 5.12.x branch, which adds logic to pick up
ninja version >= 1.10.x.

Patch attached to pick up newer ninja version.

I also found the area where OP's build failed. No failure here but it is

Same.  Mine failed on [116/2525].  Looking up farther in the build output I
saw the following lines.

FAILED: obj/third_party/blink/renderer/core/core/core_initializer.o
......
virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

Same.

Original VM had 4GB of RAM and no swap.  I increased it to 8GB of RAM and
that succeeded in less than half the time it took to fail on 4GB of RAM.
